Using Money Sensibiy.

The great majority of men live so
nearly up to the full measure of their
income that losses by reason of sickness
O. other causes put them on the down
ward track, which once begun is so
difficult to retrace. 1t is far easier
when money is plenty to learn new
methods of expenditure than to reverse
the process. The art of using money
sensibly is difficult. Probably in the
cases of the poorest the larger share of
their scanty earnings goes for what
does them more harm than good. This
is always true of those who in health
become public charge. Two per cent
annual increase in national wealth is a
large average. All the earnings of
labor and capital above that go for
waste and subsistence. A comparatively
small sum yearly. compounded and

at each Of the monthly dinners. Di-

it rule never to ask husband how
his absent wife is, or vile unsccom-

But the great frequency is owing to a

separations turned into divorces.
The life OF a French lady separee de

inasmuch as the separation OF proper

up in prison does not cease because
of separation, if he can show that "hif
